[VASC18TEST] Sydney Motorsport Park Test: February 16.

Is this event open to the public? Or is it once again just ARDC members?

Roland Dane on whether all Holden teams will receive their new panels to run at the test day:

“Hopefully they will all be able to do the test. It is all last minute but that is motorsport.”

I'm sure the customers are feeling just as blasé about it.

888 have 4 sets (at least...) of everything, while recent images/videos of more than one team has team cars look like wrecker yard skeletons...

Triple Eight states that they're also doing all of the quality control on them, and ensuring everything is erfect, before distributing.

I'm not sure when that deal comes on line. Presumably once the dust settles on the initial roll out of parts.

Does that mean Holden teams are already down to one shared extra front bar for Friday, since they were anticipating having three before this piece of news?

Back the old days of Group C when certain teams would withhold parts until the very last moment.

ARDC today advised that it was only for ARDC members and that strict conditions apply. ARDC members can not bring a guest

It is a Supercar event- they have hired the circuit and obviously provided some benefits to ARDC members.

No reason if you live in or around Sydney and you’re a motorsport fan not to be an ARDC member really.

From the ARDC:

You can enjoy all the action from the comfort of the ARDC Garage Café, Pit Roof over looking Pit Lane, as well as the Grandstand and grassed areas.

1. Access to SMSP 10:00am - 2:00pm
2. A VALID ARDC Membership Card must be shown at the gate to gain entry into SMSP
3. Guest Cards will not permit access into SMSP on this day
4. The North Paddock area and the Garages are off-limits.

Well if you read the above report BJR have used their own mounting system which makes the above likely to just be scuttlebutt.

Perhaps an area of the car that could have potentially been a control design (if you go back to the BF era, where teams were issued guidelines on how they should be installed, after a kerfuffle involving Triple Eight), but a team has probably now flushed serveral thousand dollars in time, and materials down the toilet trying to be a pioneer

The blokes and blokettes had to do something while waiting for the 888 parts delivery to show up...
